Flow, my tears, fall from your springs! Exiled forever, let me mourn; Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forlorn. Down vain lights, shine you no more! No nights are dark enough for those That in despair their lost fortunes deplore. Light doth but shame disclose. ...

I have misplaced my copy of Interview With The Vampire. I think I left it at the warehouse last week, which means it's probably either gone, or sitting on the horror shelf there. It's a bad idea to bring ones own books to a warehouse filled with books. So instead of reading that this morning, I...

“Love isn't just wanting another person the way you want to own an object you see in a store. That's just desire. You want to have it around, take it home and set it up somewhere in the apartment like a lamp. Love is"--she paused, reflecting--"like a father saving his children from a burning house, ...

I could bore you all with excuses as to why I have never picked up a Philip K Dick novel before, but I won’t, because there isn't one that’s good enough!

This just in, PKD writes some weird stuff. This book is no exception. It's about a television star, Jason Tavenor, who wakes up in a motel room with no identification. This would normally not be a problem but this particular universe is a police state where not having ID is an extremely bad thing. E...

Last book I'm going to finish this year so why not something by the master of shifting perceptions and realities? And if that's what you're looking for, you wont be disappointed with this book.I don't know if this is one of those stories Dick just sat down and wrote without plan or direction but it ...

You can criticise Dick all you like for being wrong about flying cars, or thinking the LP record was for ever (note: it isn't?), but he is writing science fiction and, as Ray Bradbury points out far more eloquently than will I, that is about ideas. It isn't about sentence construction, plot or chara...
